There was also the same attitude on the part of other companies in the gaming industry, such as Sony, postponing its PS5 game demo event, the CD Projekt Red studio, postponing the Cyberpunk 2077 Night City Wire live stream, and Epic Games, postponing its "The Device" event and the launch of Fortnite Season 2. Take-Two Interactive told Kotaku that the NBA XNUMXK games, Dragon City and Monster Legends, will also be temporarily shut down during the same period.

It's amazing the repercussion it's generating and the amount of support the studios are giving to the cause.

This is a time to reflect on our actions and those of others regarding the racism that surrounds our daily lives. What do you think of the attitude of companies in the game industry? Comment below and share your opinion with us!
